EnergyOver the forthcoming decades, the energy sector will face one of the most important challenges in its history.

The government plans to cut UK CO2 emissions by 34% of 1990 levels by 2020 and at least 80% by 2050.

To achieve these targets, the UK will undergo a transformation to cut emissions from power generation and heavy industry, transport, homes and communities, workplaces and jobs, farming and land and waste management.

The biggest challenge will probably be faced by the power generation industry, which will have to increase the share of renewables and nuclear sources, and by the heavy chemical industry which will have to reduce their CO2 emissions significantly.
